The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby”, a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand. The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life. Maya compromised, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion. Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary (庇护). The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for! Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published. After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairy tale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.” Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived. 4. How did Maya respond to the conflict with her parents? A. She persuaded them to accept her dream. B. She appeared to obey but resisted secretly. C. She openly argued against her parents’ plan. D. She gave in completely and took a stable job. 5. What does the sentence “The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray” in Para 3 imply? A. The comments eased her self-doubt. B. The comments offered medical advice. C. The comments contained false descriptions. D. The comments exposed her writing weaknesses.  6. What might Maya learn from her submission experience? A. Getting books published isn’t that hard. B. You have to pay a fee to get recognized.  C. Compromise is part of achieving a goal. D. Standing your ground is a precious virtue.  7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Write Life’s Storm.         B. Chase Dreams Freely. C. Seek Fame Through Words.    D. Leave Fairytales Behind. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述Maya爱好写作，和父母安排的人生道路产生矛盾，她暗中坚持创作，历经挫折后懂得冲突即是写作素材，书写真实生活中的风雨。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Maya compromised, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. (玛雅做出妥协，白天学习电子表格，但晚上她用假名运营博客)”可知，玛雅表面顺从父母安排，暗地里以匿名写博客的方式坚持自己的热爱、默默反抗。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary (庇护). The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. (然而，外界并没有提供庇护。她博客上的评论感觉就像X光片。她参加的研讨会上的其他作家以她难以承受的语气批评了她的作品)”可知，博客上的评论如同X光一般，把她写作上的弱点暴露出来。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. (一本文学期刊收下了一篇故事，但是要求大幅度修改，以打破其充满希望的结局。整整一周，玛雅内心纠结，想要拒绝。最后，她重写了这个故事)”可知，这次投稿经历让她明白，妥协是实现目标的一部分。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“It’s the material. Don’t write a fairy tale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain. (这是素材。不要写童话。写风暴。然后，写那个学会在雨中挺立的人)”以及最后一段“Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived.(她的墨水不再只是为了梦想。它是为了描绘现实生活中危险、美丽、完全独特的领域)”可知，文章核心是书写真实人生的风雨，所以“书写人生的风雨”适合作为文章标题。 C When a whale dies at sea, its body begins one last journey — down through darkening water to the ocean floor, sometimes kilometres below. What looks like an ending is in fact one of the richest beginnings in marine biology: a whale fall. A grown whale can weigh over a hundred tons, a fortune of food falling into a desert. Science first met such a scene in 1987, when a University of Hawaii team, diving in the submersible Alvin, came across a whale skeleton (骨架) off California and found it crowded with life. The skeleton, they judged, had lain there for years, yet the party around it showed no sign of ending. Since then, researchers have studied dozens of falls: some were found by chance, others sunk on purpose as experiments and watched year after year. The feast unfolds in stages. First come the mobile scavengers — sharks, hagfish and rattail fish— which eat away the soft tissue over months to two years. Next come the small opportunists: tiny creatures that settle in the fat-rich mud around the bones. Finally, and most remarkably, bacteria take over, breaking down the oil locked inside the bones and releasing chemicals that feed more life. Counts at closely watched falls tell the same story in numbers: the species crowd climbs fast through the first two years, peaks as the opportunists move in, and then thins only slowly over the decades that follow. A whale fall, then, is much more than a meal. Because falls lie far apart across huge stretches of empty seabed, scientists suspect they act as stepping stones, letting deep-sea species travel from one island of food to the next; several creatures collected from falls have never been seen anywhere else. Samples from such sites fill museum shelves, and each new fall drawn on the map extends that bridge. The biggest animal on Earth, it turns out, keeps on giving long after it is gone. 8. What does the underlined word “party” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The celebration of the divers. B. The experiment that followed. C. The feeding of the gathered sea life. D. The occurrence of other whale falls. 9. What can we learn about the diners at a whale fall? A. They arrive all at once. B. They fight over the skeleton. C. Each takes each other for food. D. Each sets the table for the next. 10. Which of the following charts best shows the change in the number of species on a whale fall over time? A. B. C. D. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The bond whale falls create. B. New species found in museums. C. The food whale falls offer. D. The travels between food islands. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍鲸落的发现、生物分阶段取食过程以及鲸落在深海生态中的重要作用。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的 “Science first met such a scene in 1987, when a University of Hawaii team, diving in the submersible Alvin, came across a whale skeleton (骨架) off California and found it crowded with life. The skeleton, they judged, had lain there for years, yet the party around it showed no sign of ending. (1987年科学界首次见到这一幕，夏威夷大学团队乘坐阿尔文号潜水器，在加州附近海域发现一具鲸鱼骨架，上面遍布生物。他们判断这副骨架已经在那里躺了很多年，然而围绕骨架的这场party丝毫没有结束的迹象。)”，前文描述大量海洋生物聚集在鲸的骨架上进食，因此party指代聚集的海洋生物在此取食的这场盛宴。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The feast unfolds in stages. First come the mobile scavengers — sharks, hagfish and rattail fish— which eat away the soft tissue over months to two years. Next come the small opportunists: tiny creatures that settle in the fat-rich mud around the bones. Finally, and most remarkably, bacteria take over, breaking down the oil locked inside the bones and releasing chemicals that feed more life. (这场盛宴分阶段进行。首先是移动食腐生物，如鲨鱼、盲鳗和鼠尾鱼，在数月到两年时间吃掉软组织。接着是小型机会主义生物：它们定居在骨骼周围富含脂肪的淤泥里。最后，细菌接管，分解骨骼内部储存的油脂，释放化学物质供养更多生物。)”可知，不同生物依次登场，前一类生物的活动为下一类生物创造生存条件。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的 “Counts at closely watched falls tell the same story in numbers: the species crowd climbs fast through the first two years, peaks as the opportunists move in, and then thins only slowly over the decades that follow. (对这些被密切监测的（鲸落）点位的数量统计，用数字说明了同样的情况：物种数量在前两年迅速增长，当机会型生物迁入后数量达到峰值，随后在接下来的数十年间才慢慢减少。)”可知，曲线变化：快速上升→达到最高点→缓慢下降，对应B图。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“A whale fall, then, is much more than a meal. Because falls lie far apart across huge stretches of empty seabed, scientists suspect they act as stepping stones, letting deep-sea species travel from one island of food to the next; several creatures collected from falls have never been seen anywhere else. Samples from such sites fill museum shelves, and each new fall drawn on the map extends that bridge. The biggest animal on Earth, it turns out, keeps on giving long after it is gone. (因此，鲸落远不止是一顿食物大餐。由于鲸落在广阔空旷的海床上分布得十分零散，科学家推测它们充当着垫脚石，让深海生物可以从一处食物 “岛屿” 迁徙到下一处；从鲸落处采集到的多种生物，在其他地方从未被发现过。来自这些地点的标本摆满了博物馆的陈列架，地图上标记出的每一处新鲸落，都在延伸这座（生物迁徙的）桥梁。事实证明，地球上最大的动物，在离世之后，仍在持续奉献。)”可知，本段主要讲述鲸落搭建起深海物种之间的联系纽带。 D A few months ago, I had a serious period of post-vacation blues after a trip to Italy. I’d been surrounded by beauty and history for a week — so much so that it was truly breathtaking. There’s a word for what I was feeling: awe. As it turns out, that awe was actually good for me. Studies show awe — a sense of being amazed by something great — improves our mental and physical health by reducing inflammation (炎症) and creating a sense of connection. A 2025 study from King’s College London has identified a simple activity that can help us feel awe and lower our stress in 20 minutes or less: looking at art. The study found that viewing art can decrease our stress by calming the nervous system and decreasing cortisol (皮质醇) levels. Those cortisol levels are particularly noteworthy: they dropped by an average of 22% in people who viewed original paintings. When we’re stressed, our brains are either actively looking for threats or doing a whole lot of overthinking. But art can shift that state. Elizabeth Mateer, a brain researcher at Harvard Medical School, says: “When you look at art, especially something beautiful or surprising, your attention is caught. You’re no longer locked onto whatever was stressing you out.” Authentic art experiences activate our body’s defense systems in a way that helps us feel both energetic and relaxed. Specifically, looking at art acts like a switch. It takes us out of “fight or flight” mode, allows our calming system to take over and ultimately helps us recover. Furthermore, looking at art can help us get out of our own heads. For those who are anxious, this can be a much-needed break from racing thoughts that keep us out of the present moment. Instead of being locked onto the same worry, you’re engaging with beauty or meaning. To save these moments is to find a way back to peace. 12. What did the 2025 study from King’s College London discover? A. Post-vacation blues could be serious. B. Art viewing reduced mental stress levels. C. Cortisol levels increased when traveling. D. Stress connected with history and beauty. 13. What is Elizabeth Mateer’s attitude toward viewing art? A. Cautious. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 14. How does looking at art affect people’s mental state? A. It brings out creative ideas. B. It reflects the potential worry. C. It helps focus on the present. D. It encourages racing thoughts. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Look Less, Feel More B. The Healing Power of Awe C. The Truth About Brain Stress D. A Quick Fix for a Busy Mind 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述敬畏感对身心有益，研究表明欣赏艺术可缓解压力，解释艺术如何调节大脑状态帮助人们重获内心平静。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A 2025 study from King’s College London has identified a simple activity that can help us feel awe and lower our stress in 20 minutes or less: looking at art.(伦敦国王学院2025年的一项研究发现一项简单活动：欣赏艺术，可在20分钟甚至更短时间内帮助我们产生敬畏感、减轻压力。)”可知，研究发现欣赏艺术能够减轻精神压力。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When you look at art, especially something beautiful or surprising, your attention is caught. You’re no longer locked onto whatever was stressing you out.(当你欣赏艺术，尤其是美好或令人惊叹的作品时，你的注意力会被吸引，不再困于那些令你倍感压力的事情。)”可知，Elizabeth Mateer认为欣赏艺术对缓解压力有作用，态度是积极的。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When you look at art, especially something beautiful or surprising, your attention is caught. You’re no longer locked onto whatever was stressing you out.(当你欣赏艺术，尤其是美好或令人惊叹的作品时，你的注意力会被吸引，不再困于那些令你倍感压力的事情。)”和第四段中“For those who are anxious, this can be a much‑needed break from racing thoughts that keep us out of the present moment.(对于焦虑的人来说，这可以让我们从扰乱当下的纷乱思绪中得到急需的喘息。)”可知，欣赏艺术帮助人们专注当下。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕敬畏感展开，介绍敬畏有益于身心健康，欣赏艺术可以获得敬畏感、治愈压力，B项“The Healing Power of Awe(敬畏的治愈力量)”最适合作为标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36. 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you noticed how often you forget even simple things and instantly reach for your phone to check them? In a world where answers appear in seconds, our memory has started to work differently. Dates, facts, phone numbers, and even personal memories get handed over to devices for safekeeping. ____16____ American psychologists once published an article in Science. ____17____ In an experiment, participants were asked to read and type 40 interesting facts. Half of the participants were told that these facts would be saved on the computer, while the other half were told that they would be deleted. Everyone was then asked to write down as many facts as possible from memory. People who thought the information would be saved remembered less than those who believed it would be lost. ____18____ If the brain knows that important information can be obtained from external storage, it sees no reason to waste energy trying to memorize it. Neuroscientists argue that the strength of memory is directly linked to how often we review what we memorize. ____19____ At the same time, the rise of search engines and quick access to knowledge have made turning to our own memories less necessary. Why make the effort to remember something when online search tools can find the exact answer in a second? ____20____ It moves some knowledge outside and makes information available with a single click. However, the strength of the human mind does not lie in the amount of data we memorize. True intelligence lies in the ability to ask questions, understand connections, doubt, seek evidence, and create something new. A. The logic is quite clear. B. They studied how technology affects memory. C. This phenomenon is called the online search effect. D. We tend to ignore how digital storage shapes our memory. E. Online tools bring us easy access to unnecessary information in the world. F. The more frequently you recall a piece of information, the better it is stored. G. If used wisely, the Internet is not the enemy of memory, but a powerful tool. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述“在线搜索效应”——人们因过度依赖互联网和搜索引擎查找信息而导致自身记忆力下降的现象。 【16题详解】 空前“In a world where answers appear in seconds, our memory has started to work differently. Dates, facts, phone numbers, and even personal memories get handed over to devices for safekeeping.(在这个答案几秒钟就能出现的世界里，我们的记忆开始以不同的方式运作。日期、事实、电话号码，甚至个人回忆，都交由设备来妥善保存)”列举了人们依赖电子设备存储信息、自身记忆功能发生变化的现象，C选项“这种现象被称为在线搜索效应”对前文现象进行定义总结，衔接自然。 【17题详解】 空后“In an experiment, participants were asked to read and type 40 interesting facts. Half of the participants were told that these facts would be saved on the computer, while the other half were told that they would be deleted. Everyone was then asked to write down as many facts as possible from memory.(在一项实验中，参与者被要求阅读并输入40条有趣的事实。一半的参与者被告知这些事实将被保存在电脑上，而另一半则被告知这些事实会被删除。随后，每个人都被要求尽可能多地从记忆中写下这些事实)”介绍了相关实验的内容，B选项“他们研究科技如何影响记忆”承接前文中美国心理学家发布研究的背景，引出后续实验说明。 【18题详解】 空后“If the brain knows that important information can be obtained from external storage, it sees no reason to waste energy trying to memorize it.(如果大脑知道可以从外部存储中获取重要信息，它就不会有理由浪费能量去试图记忆这些信息)”解释了大脑认为可从外部存储获取信息就不会浪费精力去记忆的原理，A选项“逻辑十分清晰”承上启下，对前文实验结果做过渡引出原理阐释。 【19题详解】 空前“Neuroscientists argue that the strength of memory is directly linked to how often we review what we memorize.(神经科学家认为，记忆的强度与我们复习所记忆内容的频率直接相关)”提到神经科学家的看法——记忆强度和复习记忆内容的频率直接相关，F选项“你越频繁回忆某条信息，它的存储效果就越好”是对该观点的直接呼应补充。 【20题详解】 空后“It moves some knowledge outside and makes information available with a single click. However, the strength of the human mind does not lie in the amount of data we memorize.(它将一些知识存储在外部，只需一次点击即可获取信息。然而，人类思维的力量并不在于我们记住的数据量)”介绍了数字工具将信息外置、点击即可获取的特点，同时点明人类智慧的核心不在于记忆数据量，G选项“如果合理使用，互联网不是记忆的敌人，而是强大的工具”引出对互联网作用的辩证讨论，契合段落逻辑。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Long before a serious illness cast a shadow over UCS, an American school, Coach Matt Thomas had been the beating heart of its football team.

To prepare 42. the 43. with 44. where 45. anticipated 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍华盛顿史密森尼国家动物园即将迎来来自中国的两只大熊猫，讲述它们的基本情况与转运筹备工作。 【36题详解】 考查名词。句意：位于华盛顿特区的史密森尼国家动物园及保护生物学研究所于周一宣布，饲养员期待本周迎来两只来自中国的大熊猫的到来。定冠词the后面需要接名词，appear的名词形式是appearance，意为“到来，出现”。 【37题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：这两只大熊猫，一雄一雌，分别名叫宝力和青宝，预计将于周二抵达。此处为本句谓语，主语the pandas和expect之间为被动关系，表示“被预计”，主语是复数，且叙述现在的情况，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，谓语动词为are expected。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：它们出生于2021年，出生时间相差一个月，之前的照料者称它们是活泼的三岁大熊猫，喜欢攀爬。此处为固定搭配describe sb. as…，意为“把某人描述为……”，所以此处为介词as。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：宝力是宝宝的后代，宝宝于2013年在华盛顿出生，并在那里生活到2017年。live和逻辑主语Bao Bao之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词living作后置定语。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：作为繁育项目的一部分，所有在国家动物园出生的大熊猫都要在四岁时返回中国，该项目有助于保护这一物种的延续，国际自然保护联盟目前将该物种认定为“易危物种”。此处修饰动词thought of，需要使用副词，current的副词形式是currently，意为“目前”。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：据新华社报道，为筹备这两只大熊猫的正式移交，中国专家多次前往华盛顿特区，以保障它们的安全与健康得到照料。此处用动词不定式作目的状语，表示“为了做某事”，所以此处为to prepare，位于句首单词首字母需大写。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：该声明称，专家认定国家动物园的居住场地、食物来源、繁育项目以及健康监测都达标。此处特指与本次大熊猫转运相关的官方声明，为谈话双方共知的特定对象，所以用定冠词the。 【43题详解】 考查介词。句意：据新华社消息，周一晚间，它们的旅程开启，先由专车从中国大熊猫保护研究中心运往成都双流国际机场，在那里它们开始为飞往新家的“专机”做准备。此处为固定搭配begin with，意为“以……作为开端”，用介词with。 【44题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：据新华社消息，周一晚间，它们的旅程开启，先由专车从中国大熊猫保护研究中心运往成都双流国际机场，在那里它们开始为飞往新家的“专机”做准备。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词是Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport，表示地点，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在宝力和青宝这万众期待的新成员到来之前，今年六月云川和鑫宝已经入驻圣地亚哥动物园，这也是在一段外交紧张期过后，时隔二十一年再次有大熊猫进入美国。此处修饰名词addition，需要使用形容词，anticipate的形容词形式anticipated，意为“受期待的”。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 62. 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校英语报计划在高三年级的走廊布置一面“高三加油墙”（“Go for It!” Wall），供同学们张贴励志便签、分享学习心得以及互相留言鼓励。请你给英语报负责人Kacey写一封邮件，内容包括： （1）提出你对“加油墙”的管理建议（至少两条）； （2）说明理由。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Kacey, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】参考范文： Dear Kacey, I’m glad to hear that our grade is going to set up a “Go for It!” Wall.

He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent. Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队)danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted. Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path. Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away?” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family. Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family. As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door. “So…?” his father asked. “The tryout? It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” The smiles on his parents’ faces froze instantly. “What do you mean?” his father asked in surprise. Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball. The room fell silent. His parents exchanged confused looks, struggling to understand. Mark felt his heart pounding but continued, saying he had been training for months. Just when the tension seemed unbearable, his mother finally spoke gently, “If this is what you really love, you deserve a chance — and we’ll always stand by you.” His father hesitated, then nodded slowly. A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. Standing on the field, Mark felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Remembering the countless hours of practice, he pushed aside his doubts and focused on every move. When the music started, he jumped, turned and lifted with confidence. His strength and determination impressed the judges and the crowd. When the results were announced, Mark heard his name among those selected. At that moment, he spotted his parents in the stands, clapping proudly. He realized that by following his heart, he had finally stepped out of his brother’s shadow and started his own journey. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了马克篮球天赋出众，家人期望他追随哥哥的脚步打篮球，可他内心热爱啦啦队，一直秘密训练，在篮球试训结束后，决心向家人坦白，追寻自己真正热爱的事业的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句“马克鼓起勇气宣布：‘我不想再打篮球了。’”可知，接下来可描写家人听到这句话后的反应，马克坦白自己热爱啦啦队以及秘密训练的事实，最终获得家人的理解与支持。 ② 由第二段首句“一周后，到了啦啦队选拔的日子。”可知，接下来可描写马克选拔时的紧张与坚定，展现他训练后的成果，选拔过程中的表现，以及最终成功入选、看到家人为他骄傲的场景。 2. 续写线索 向家人坦白不想打篮球的决定——家人的惊讶与疑惑——马克说明热爱啦啦队及秘密训练的事实——家人给予理解与支持——啦啦队选拔现场的紧张与坚定——成功入选，家人为其骄傲——实现自我，走出哥哥的阴影 3.词类激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②支持：stand by/support ③回忆：remember/recall ④宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②兴奋：excitement/thrill ③紧张，焦虑：nervousness/anxiety 【点睛】【高分句型1】Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball. （运用了现在分词taking...作状语以及although引导让步状语从句） 【高分句型2】Just when the tension seemed unbearable, his mother finally spoke gently, “If this is what you really love, you deserve a chance — and we’ll always stand by you.”（运用了when引导时间状语从句，if引导条件状语从句和what引导表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三年级限时规范练二 高三英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题。从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

They were insistent, unfolding in the blank spaces of her textbooks as broken lines of poetry. The future had already been drafted by her parents: a degree in business, a stable job, security. Her writing was a “pleasant hobby”, a phrase that made her pen feel like a ghost in her hand. The conflict was not a single conversation but a quiet, constant pressure. Her father saw her notebooks as evidence of a dangerous, risky world. Her mother worried the stories were an escape from a real life. Maya compromised, studying spreadsheets by day, but at night, she fed a blog under a false name. That was her real voice, a whispered rebellion. Yet, the outside world offered no sanctuary (庇护). The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray. The other writers at the workshops she attended criticized her work with a tone she couldn’t bear. Rejections from magazines carried a sharper pain — they weren’t just rejecting a hobby, but the refined craft she’d worked so hard for! Then, a moment of recognition struck, though it came with its own cost. A literary journal accepted a story — but requested thorough revisions that would take apart its hopeful ending. For a week, Maya wrestled with it, feeling like refusing. Finally, she rewrote it. The new ending held both love and distance, ambition and sacrifice. It was published. After that, she began volunteering at a community center, not as a famous author, but as a fellow struggler. She showed teenagers her early drafts, full of red ink and doubt. “The conflict isn’t the obstacle to your dream,” she’d tell them. “It’s the material. Don’t write a fairy tale. Write the storm. And then, write the person learning to stand in the rain.” Her ink was no longer just for dreams. It was for mapping the risky, beautiful, and completely unique territory of a real life being lived. 4. How did Maya respond to the conflict with her parents? A. She persuaded them to accept her dream. B. She appeared to obey but resisted secretly. C. She openly argued against her parents’ plan. D. She gave in completely and took a stable job. 5. What does the sentence “The comments on her blog felt like an X-ray” in Para 3 imply? A. The comments eased her self-doubt. B. The comments offered medical advice. C. The comments contained false descriptions. D. The comments exposed her writing weaknesses.  6. What might Maya learn from her submission experience? A. Getting books published isn’t that hard. B. You have to pay a fee to get recognized.  C. Compromise is part of achieving a goal. D. Standing your ground is a precious virtue.  7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Write Life’s Storm.         B. Chase Dreams Freely. C. Seek Fame Through Words.    D. Leave Fairytales Behind. C When a whale dies at sea, its body begins one last journey — down through darkening water to the ocean floor, sometimes kilometres below. What looks like an ending is in fact one of the richest beginnings in marine biology: a whale fall. A grown whale can weigh over a hundred tons, a fortune of food falling into a desert. Science first met such a scene in 1987, when a University of Hawaii team, diving in the submersible Alvin, came across a whale skeleton (骨架) off California and found it crowded with life. The skeleton, they judged, had lain there for years, yet the party around it showed no sign of ending. Since then, researchers have studied dozens of falls: some were found by chance, others sunk on purpose as experiments and watched year after year. The feast unfolds in stages. First come the mobile scavengers — sharks, hagfish and rattail fish— which eat away the soft tissue over months to two years. Next come the small opportunists: tiny creatures that settle in the fat-rich mud around the bones. Finally, and most remarkably, bacteria take over, breaking down the oil locked inside the bones and releasing chemicals that feed more life. Counts at closely watched falls tell the same story in numbers: the species crowd climbs fast through the first two years, peaks as the opportunists move in, and then thins only slowly over the decades that follow. A whale fall, then, is much more than a meal. Because falls lie far apart across huge stretches of empty seabed, scientists suspect they act as stepping stones, letting deep-sea species travel from one island of food to the next; several creatures collected from falls have never been seen anywhere else. Samples from such sites fill museum shelves, and each new fall drawn on the map extends that bridge. The biggest animal on Earth, it turns out, keeps on giving long after it is gone. 8. What does the underlined word “party” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The celebration of the divers. B. The experiment that followed. C. The feeding of the gathered sea life. D. The occurrence of other whale falls. 9. What can we learn about the diners at a whale fall? A. They arrive all at once. B. They fight over the skeleton. C. Each takes each other for food. D. Each sets the table for the next. 10. Which of the following charts best shows the change in the number of species on a whale fall over time? A. B. C. D. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The bond whale falls create. B. New species found in museums. C. The food whale falls offer. D. The travels between food islands. D A few months ago, I had a serious period of post-vacation blues after a trip to Italy. I’d been surrounded by beauty and history for a week — so much so that it was truly breathtaking. There’s a word for what I was feeling: awe. As it turns out, that awe was actually good for me. Studies show awe — a sense of being amazed by something great — improves our mental and physical health by reducing inflammation (炎症) and creating a sense of connection. A 2025 study from King’s College London has identified a simple activity that can help us feel awe and lower our stress in 20 minutes or less: looking at art. The study found that viewing art can decrease our stress by calming the nervous system and decreasing cortisol (皮质醇) levels. Those cortisol levels are particularly noteworthy: they dropped by an average of 22% in people who viewed original paintings. When we’re stressed, our brains are either actively looking for threats or doing a whole lot of overthinking. But art can shift that state. Elizabeth Mateer, a brain researcher at Harvard Medical School, says: “When you look at art, especially something beautiful or surprising, your attention is caught. You’re no longer locked onto whatever was stressing you out.” Authentic art experiences activate our body’s defense systems in a way that helps us feel both energetic and relaxed. Specifically, looking at art acts like a switch. It takes us out of “fight or flight” mode, allows our calming system to take over and ultimately helps us recover. Furthermore, looking at art can help us get out of our own heads. For those who are anxious, this can be a much-needed break from racing thoughts that keep us out of the present moment. Instead of being locked onto the same worry, you’re engaging with beauty or meaning. To save these moments is to find a way back to peace. 12.

He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent. Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队)danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted. Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path. Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away?” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family. Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family. As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door. “So…?” his father asked. “The tryout? It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
